Communicate.com “frees” its domain

I’m a believer in Communicate.com’s business model. (OTC: CMNN.ob). The firm owns premium domains, like karate.com and makeup.com, and creates businesses around these. Other domains in the firm’s portfolio are parked with advertisements. One thing has always bothered me, though. Communicate.com used its domain as a corporate information page. Since of this, communicate.com could never generate revenue from the domain or consider selling it!

Communicate.com disclosed today that it is converting the domain to a parking page and moving its corporate page to cmnn.ob. If nothing else, this ought to boost short term revenue for the firm from PPC.
